He discovered he says, Just how much conditioning he needed when he entered the log chopping contest at the recent Sutnerlln Centennial.

Ike WiilianiTPuts Beau Jack Away By Six-Round TKO PHILADELPHIA, July 13 (JP Ike Williams finally found an op ponent who didn't know what it meant to backtrack and the string bean kid from Trenton, N. J., used him as a medium to prove he's a great lightweight cham pion. Williams scored a six-round technical knockout last night over Beau Jack, windmill-swinging former shoeshlne boy who sought to make boxing history by becom ing the first fighter ever to win the same title three times. Each fighter entered the ring at 134 pounds. A riisannnlntinff crowd nf 12.. 952 paid $83,787 at Shibe Park and saw the ever-advancing Jack swarm all over the champion in the early rounds. Williams, Jab blng and counter-punchlne. simply waited patiently for an opening. In the sixth, the champion caught Jack with a left hook and, battering mm wim countless rights and lefts, pinned him against the ropes. Ike looked to refpree Charley Daggert to stop It hut he said no. Jack wanted to fall but he couldn't and finally Daggert w MUCH U)tiN YOU v.

LOUIS, July 13 The National League had everything to lose and little to gain today as It squared off against Its Ameri can League rival in the 15th an nual All-Star baseball game. A victory over the battered and undermanned American League outfit is imperative or the Na tionals will lose a load of pres tige. This Is the one the senior clrcultmen, who have suffered 10 pastings In 14 outings, must win. The general feeling around the crowded hotel lobbies here is: "If the National Leaguers don't win this one, they'll never win." The odds have dropped from the American League favorite at 11-20 to almost even money. The American Leaguers, seek ing their third straight, were minus their "big four" consisting of sluggers Ted Williams and Joe Dl Maggio and ace pitchers Hal Newhouser and Bob Feller. In ad dition, George Kell. selected as the league's No. 1 third baseman, was stricken as a starter. Tommy Henrlch of New York and Hoot Evers of Detroit were selected by Manager Bucky Har ris to replace his two sterling outfielders. Harris was undecided between Vic Raschi or Joe Paee as his starting pltetier. Ken s starting place was given to Ken Keltner of the Cleveland Indians. The bigeest blow suffered hv the American Leaguers was the loss of Williams. The Red Sox power hitter has a torn cartilage on his left side and will not see action. The other American league players are In good shape. It must be pointed out. however, that six of the eight pitchers on the Amer can league staff, worked last Sun day. In sharp contrast to the Ameri can League situation, Leo Duro cher's National Leaguers, with fthe exception of Red Schoen- dlenst of the St. Louis Cardinals, are In fine shape. Schoendienst nas a sore shoulder. The clouds, which huns so heavily over the "dream game" yesterday, were somewhat dimin ished todav. Players representa tive Dixie Walker said the play ers themselves were going to taxp action against anyone pur posely evading all-star partici pation and Commissioner A. B. 1 Chandler declared that "in the future the player selected to the all-star teams will be there." Players receive no extra pay for participating, the proceeds going In nlmvAr.1 un.U. t,.A Righthander Ralph Branca (10 6) will open for the National League. Ted Williams lips Bat Percentage CHICAGO, July 13. () Boston's Ted Williams hanged seven hits In four games last stepped in and called a halt after 33 seconds of the round. The battle had been fairly even to that point. Daggert had scored It two rounds for each and one even; Judge Frank Knarsborough carded three rounds for Williams and two for Jack, while Judge Harry Lanky saw Jack win three rounds and Williams two. Williams said he planned t continue fighting as a light weight, discounting rumors he would campaign for Ray Robin son's welterweight diadem. A beaten and delected Jack hart no excuse for his defeat said "of course I II keep on fighting. Fighting is my life." S tude baker's first with new 949 trucks! New design! New sixes! New wheelbases!

In averages computed through Sunday's games, Williams held a 33 point margin over second place Lou Boudreau of Cleveland who dropped five points to .355. Al Za rills of St. Louis was third with .332 followed by Walt Evers, Detroit, .329 and George Kell, De troit, .327.

Night Baseball Dated Thursday On New Diamond The first night baseball game In Roseburg's history will be played this Thursday night when the Umpqua Chiefs meet the Coquille Loggers at 8 p. m. in a dedication of the new diamond adjoining Finlay field. Work was being rushed this week to Insure the fans good seat ing arrangements as a crew of workers headed by Chief's player manager Doug Taltt moved the stands and installed new back stops. Field Illumination has been In working order for two weeks and the batterv of llehts will make the Chief's new home ark one of the best-lighted fields n the state. The local team pounded out a 32 victory over Coquille in a innuing ten-inning contest In their last meeting March 31. Bill Fortler, Loggers manager, de manded a return game and ar rangements were not made until recently for the game to be plav- ed. The lack of an adequate prac tice field has hampered the local team recently In preparation for league games. This mav partial ly account for the poor fielding shown at Grants Pass last Sun day when the Chiefs dropped a 10-6 decision to the Merchants. The local team out hit the win ners 11 to 9 but seven errors anem lost the ball game. Now that the Chiefs have a field they can call their own, frequent prac tice sessions are expected to halt the game-losing tendency shown in the past. Manager Taltt said.

Pepsi-Cola Team Defeats Plywood In Softball Tilt Another balr of wins were chalked up-ln Summer Softball League play last night as Pepsi Cola completely outplayed the Umpqua Plywood team to wm. 8-3. Youngs Bay won the second team of the evening by forfeit when the Montgomery Ward team failed to appear upon the field. According to official soft ball rules, the score of the second game will go into the books as a 7 0 win for the Youngs Bay nine. The first inning looked like batting practice as both teams chased across two runs. The Pepsi-Cola boys jumped on the oppos ing pitcher, Cox, for three nits that first inning, Including a double by Hopkins and a triple by Hlnes. One of the Umpqua runs was unearned in that Inning when Reddlfer crossed the plate after Cola Shortstop Coen threw wide to third base. The Umpqua boys were blanked In the second Inning but Pepsi Cola found the range again off Cox and drove In four runs on four hits, including Hlnes' second triple of the evening. Umpqua Plywood gained back one of- those runs in the top of the third, when Marv Long poled a single into left field to score his brother C. Long. The last of the scoring came in the bottom of the fifth as Hop kins reached first on the second of three bases on balls given up by Cox. He stole second to set up the scoring play and ran home on Coen's single. Coen scored from second when C. Boucock's fly to right field was dropped by Ben son in his only fielding attempt of the game. Cox, the losing pitcher, gave up twice as many hits as his two op ponents but was able to control the ball much better. Walks, , passed halfcs, and hit batters marred Hopkins' pitching record i as two of the three Umpqua Ply wood runs were made by runners who reached first base on shaky pitching. In the top of the sixth, Hopkins walked three successive batters to "'I the bases but was pulled out of the hble by Telford, who struck out the next batter and forced the final batter to ground out to short. Hlnes boosted his batting aver age with two triples In two trips to the plate. Hopkins also hit two for three, Including a double. Todd was the heavy hitter for the losers with one hit, two walks, and a groundnut to the shortstop In his four appearances at the plate.

Livestock Show To Open October 1 Flood damage to the Pacific International Livestock Exposi tion's buildings will not Interfere with the scheduled opening of the show on October 1, It was announced this week by Theodore B. Wilcox, president. The floor of one of the na tions largest show structures was under four feet of water. Aside from depositing a light coating of silt and other residue, the rampaging waters did little dam age. "Doors washed out by pressure of the water will have to be re placed and two. new floors will be needed, one for the large din ning room and the other for one of the dormitories. Otherwise repairs will consist mainly of repairing and cleaning, manager Walter Holt, said. Engineers will check the 11 acre building, making sure that preflood conditions are restored. The repairmen should leave the building actually improved. "Contacts with exhibitors leave little doubt that the 1948 P. I. exhibition will be the largest In the show's 38 year history." Walter Holt, manager predicted.
